📋 About This Mod
I Can't Believe It's Not Vanilla!
The features You want... Without the fluff You don't!
Why this mod was made:
Many are aware of Oblivion's infamous 'every bandit has high level equipment' problem.
This mod is THE best solution! It's exactly what you'd imagine!
I originally set out to make a mod that removes Daedric, Glass, Elven and Ebony equipment from NPCs in a dynamic way.
But this mod has expanded to do more than that:
DETAILS:
✨ Included 'No Obsolote Loot' functionality!
☛ No matter how high your level, NO items/armor/weapons will become obsolete and disappear!
⤷ This one simple change alone makes the game much more interesting, and is needed to accentuate this mod's effects.
⤷ As you level higher, NPC gear becomes more random, enhancing verisimilitude through variety which thus enhances immersion.
✨ Basic NPCs such as Bandits and Marauders (Goons) no longer use:
Armors no longer used: Weapons no longer used:
- Elven - Glass
- Glass - Ebony
- Ebony - Daedric
☛ Higher level / unique NPCs such as Ringleaders (Bosses) may still have Elven, Glass, and Ebony equipment.
✨ Non-Daedric NPCs no longer have Daedric equipment, thus making Daedric equipment less abundant!
☛ A good way to obtain Daedric equipment is by going into an Oblivion Gate or fighting Daedra.
FIXES:
Changes made by the UOP are carried over in this mod, and the few overrides to the UOP are intentional.
The fixes I've listed here are ones which at the time of making this mod are not covered by the UOP.
Just make sure this mod is loaded AFTER the UOP if you use it.

Leveled List Fixes - Goons Without Glass is an immersion mod by iB that dynamically removes endgame equipment from basic NPCs, aligning with the vision of more realistic enemy loadouts. With 169 endorsements and 3,286 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for players seeking balanced encounters.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 169 endorsements and 3,286 downloads—solid for a niche immersion mod.
- Fills a real gap: stops random bandits from wearing endgame armor, which breaks immersion.
- Dynamic implementation means it works with other leveled list mods without manual patching.
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with a narrow scope—only affects basic NPCs, not named or boss enemies.
- No detailed documentation on exact lists changed, so you might need to test in-game.
- Last updated July 2026—could be outdated if the game receives major updates.
For immersion-focused players who hate seeing common thugs in Daedric armor. If you're a roleplayer or someone who wants enemy gear to make sense, this is for you. Skip if you prefer over-the-top loot or don't care about logical progression.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a leveled list mod, place it early in your load order to let other mods overwrite if needed.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily enable/disable it for testing.
- Pair with a combat overhaul to get the most out of the immersion boost.
